A friend hit me up on gchat and suggested I write a few new blog posts on variety of styling topics. During the conversation I had an idea;  I should add another category that focuses on answering your styling questions.   I know I should’ve come up with this sooner; better late than never right?!

Moving forward Ask Keri blog posts will be added.  Similar to the outfit and Diva Must Have posts I do now, but more specific to your questions and needs.

If you’d like to submit a question, please email me at [email protected]. Write Ask Keri in the subject line.  You can submit as many questions as you like!  I will respond to all questions via email and upload some online as a blog post to share with everyone.  Can’t wait

On Monday, the entertainment blog sites posted news of Gospel duo Mary Mary landing their own reality series on WeTv which will aire March 2012.  The show will follow the sisters as they struggle to balance their careers and family life.  Sound familiar?

I’m sure it does because it seems like everyone has their own reality show these days following their lives as they balance career and family.  T.I. recently joined VH1, The Braxton’s are on their second season and Tia & Tamara had a successful season on the Style network. I’ll admit, I watch (and plan on watching) these shows, but I couldn’t help but wonder, is this the new norm for celebrities?

In an entertainment era that loves reality TV, is that the next career move for celebrities in order to stay relevant or promote upcoming projects?  I know for some, reality television is one of the many ways they are making money as they seek to revamp their careers. For others, reality TV is another venue they can add to their “brand.”  But for successful artists like Mary Mary, what is the reason for starring in their own show? Expand their fan base?

These days, when many reality shows are about fighting and foolishness, it is refreshing to see shows that are positive and aren’t very dramatic.  But celebrities having their own show can only go on for so long before that trend gets old. 

Do you think reality TV has become a new trend for celebrities? Why do you think so many celebrities have agreed to have their own reality shows? Which show will you be watching?  

June Ambrose has been in the fashion industry for years styling some of our favorite celebrities including Diddy, Mary J. Blige, Kanye West and Jay-Z.  The fabulous celebrity stylist recently teamed up with Avenue Magazine for their October Issue. She didn’t style the shoot; instead she is featured on the cover! 

Ambrose wears a Jean Paul Gaultier sequin turtleneck and pants paired with Christian Louboutin black Daffodil pumps.  In the interview, she talks about leaving her job as an investment banker to become a stylist. She discusses her new reality show on VH1, The June Ambrose Project (I can’t wait to watch!!!) and how she balances fashion and family.

“I always wanted to walk into a room and be the focus of it, that was just my shtick. I was going to use myself to get my foot in the door and make things happen. I wanted to take urban style and make it something cinematic and forward… A kind of high market approach. I bought in all these elements and designed all these pieces for this scene when nobody wanted to give Mariah Carey gowns.” - June Ambrose

It is about time June Ambrose becomes a household name!  It is inspiring to know that Ambrose started off working as an investment banker but had the courage to leave and follow her true passion. I can’t wait to read her entire interview.

Thanks to her exposure on “Celebrity Apprentice” Ms. NeNe Leakes is “rich” and she wants the whole world to know! On this season of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, NeNe has announced on multiple occasions that she is rich.  She is working on a few business deals and because she is “flowing in dough” she even checked out a $9 million mansion in Miami.

So to continue capitalizing on her new fame, she has decided to follow the footsteps of Evelyn Lozada (from Basketball Wives) and create her own line of t-shirts displaying her very own phrase she said to Sheree in a heated argument during Episode one, “I’m Very Rich B*tch.” *rolling my eyes* 

I’m not sure who told her to move forward with a t-shirt line, but real women (and men) who are wealthy do not need to walk around announcing it to the world! I’m not anywhere close to being rich but that’s one rule MOST people know!

When was the last time you heard Warren Buffet talk about the billions he is making? You don’t hear Kandi on The Real Housewives of Atlanta talking about how much money she has and you know she is wealthy! She used to be in Xscape and has written songs for a number of celebrity artists. Can we say royalties!

NeNe is currently selling her Swarovski crystal t-shirts for $150.   I hope I don’t ever see anyone wearing this shirt! It’s tacky and ridiculous. If I ever do stumble upon someone wearing this shirt, I’d have to wonder, “if you are really that rich you wouldn’t have to wear a shirt that says so.”

 “When people making new money have a few hundred thousand or even a million, they think they’re rich.” - Kandi
